The daily also said that the National Army of Montenegro demanded the
solution of the Albanian question, as well as that Albanian
politicians in Montenegro did not know anything about the group and
did not attach any importance to it.On its web site, which resembles
the web site of the Albanians of Presevo, Kosovo and Macedonia, the
group says that the Albanian community in Montenegro and Serbia and
Montenegro is discriminated against. The web site does not include
information on the author of the document or the group's seat. "The
Headquarters of the National Army of Montenegro believes that the
status of Albanians has been reduced to that of Gypsies in the
preamble of the Constitutional Charter of the pseudo-state of Serbia
and Montenegro, which was established on Albanian territory," the
group says, adding that Albanians are not advocating forcible changes
of borders, but do insist on their rights. The group is also
dissatisfied with the representation of the interests of the Albanian
community by ethnic Albanian politicians, whom it considers servile
The heads of Kosovo Albanian national parties said they did not
support the positions expressed at the web site of the "National Army
of Montenegro".
